The BOV also provides internet forums with hours and hours colourful discussion and debate...

Now here is my 2c...

In theory it also reduces the loss in turbine rpm during a gear change..This means when you get back on it, the turbine is at a higher rpm (because the compressor discharge hasn't been suddenly blocked) and therefore will spool up quicker...In practice though this may not be noticable much, if at all. It is also very hard to measure...

Got pics?

I've been "window shopping" for some 4 pots.

BTW got my modified coilovers back from the engineers today. Going to fit the rear Ohlins coilovers tonight (and maybe the fronts if not too dark - bloody daylight savings!)

Block the BOV in and auto and you'll notice it easily.

Yeh i tried it(blocking BOV) went around the block......GHEY!!!

My theory is,if you got time to hear the psshhh .....your not changing gears fast enough....simple.

Besides bullets are made from lead so they are soft as, you could shoot a turbine housing and youwn't even mark it :lol:

Mmmm... I shot a bullet through outer guard, inner guard, cast iron 308 block, inner guard once...I know it's no turbine housing :blink: but wtf are you talking about Willis ?

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
